OAK PARK, Ill. (CBS) — A 19-year-old parolee from the West Side has been charged with robbing the Bleeding Heart Bakery in Oak Park and locking a clerk in the basement.

The bakery is now planning to move out of its current location.

Travion D. Trapp, of the 300 block of North Hamlin Avenue, was charged Thursday night with two counts of robbery and one count each of attempted murder, aggravated kidnapping and burglary, according to Oak Park police.

The 22-year-old told CBS2’s Mike Parker that she is still afraid and more cautious than before. But she added, “I am determined that I won’t let this ruin my life.”

She won’t be back at the bakery, however.

Bleeding Heart also sells “local, sustainable, punk rock pastry” at its bakeries at 1955 W. Belmont Ave. in the Roscoe Village neighborhood and 116 S. York St. in Elmhurst, and operates a bakery and café at 1916 W. Chicago Ave. in the West Town neighborhood.

Trapp was on parole after serving one year of a three-year sentence for robbery, according to the Illinois Department of Corrections.
